7 Premier League players started for France against Belarus

There is no denying France have a talented squad but what may come as a surprise is how many Premier League players represent Les Blues.

The French national team that started against Belarus included seven Premier League players. Manchester United and Arsenal both have two representatives in Paul Pogba, Martial and Giroud, Koscielny, respectively.

Giroud was giving a place in the starting line-up against Belarus but has yet to feature for Arsenal this season. Koscielny meanwhile featured in the Gunners 3-1 win over Watford before the international break.

Crystal Palace goalkeeper Mandanda, Tottenham midfielder Sissoko and Chelsea star Kante were also all given the nod.
